Adi Ignatius, the Editor in Chief of Harvard Business Review, wrote on his blog one week ago:

“Rupert Murdoch learned a similar lesson. When he tried to expand his
ventures in China around the same time, he performed multiple kowtows in full public view. As Jonathan Mirsky (no fan of Murdoch’s) wrote in the New York Review of Books, Murdoch tried to remove from his portfolio anything China didn’t like. He sold his Hong Kong paper, the South China Morning Post, which was often tough on Beijing. He dropped BBC from his satellite in the region after it
aired a documentary critical of Mao Zedong. And his book-publishing
company paid a huge advance to Deng Xiaoping’s daughter for her singularly uninteresting memoir. (For good measure, it also canceled plans to publish a book by the outspoken Patten.) All of this earned Murdoch very little. The media magnate eventually conceded he hit a “brick wall” in China and wrote off a huge chunk of change.”

She was supposed to help him succeed in China and she failed. Time to dump her.
